Various embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method for displaying a map of certificate relationships. A method can include retrieving certificate information for two or more servers and storing the retrieved certificate information in a memory. In addition, the method can include receiving a command to generate a map of certificate relationships. The command includes a command scope that identifies at least a first server of the two or more servers. Further, the method can include generating the map from the retrieved certificate information and rendering the map on a display device. The map includes the first server and a device having a certificate relationship with the first server.

Management of digital certificates

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an approach is provided in which a diagnostic system retrieves encrypted utilization data from an electronic system that were generated from utilization data corresponding to the electronic system's usage. The diagnostic system decrypts the encrypted utilization data and determines whether the decrypted utilization data are valid. When the decrypted utilization data are valid, the diagnostic system displays the decrypted utilization data on a display. In another embodiment, the diagnostic system retrieves cryptographically-protected utilization data from the electronic system and determines the authenticity of the cryptographically-protected utilization data. Once the cryptographically-protected utilization data are authenticated, the diagnostic system displays the corresponding utilization data on a display.
